Etymology

The word traces back to Latin constituere ("to set up, establish"), combining con- (intensive prefix) and statuere ("to stand, place"). Over time, constitution evolved to mean the foundational laws of a state (literally "how things stand together"). The suffix -al transforms it into an adjective, reflecting adherence to or nature of such principles.
